内容简介
······
The Sirens of Titan is an outrageous romp through space, time, and morality. The richest, most depraved man on Earth, Malachi Constant, is offered a chance to take a space journey to distant worlds with a beautiful woman at his side. Of course there’s a catch to the invitation–and a prophetic vision about the purpose of human life that only Vonnegut has the courage to tell.
作者简介
······
Kurt Vonnegut, Junior was an American novelist, satirist, and most recently, graphic artist. He was recognized as New York State Author for 2001-2003.
He was born in Indianapolis, later the setting for many of his novels. He attended Cornell University from 1941 to 1943, where he wrote a column for the student newspaper, the Cornell Daily Sun. Vonnegut trained as a chemist and worked as a journalist before joining the U.S. Army and serving in World War II.
After the war, he attended University of Chicago as a graduate student in anthropology and also worked as a police reporter at the City News Bureau of Chicago. He left Chicago to work in Schenectady, New York in public relations for General Electric. He attributed his unadorned writing style to his reporting work.
His experiences as an advance scout in the Battle of the Bulge, and in particular his witnessing of the bombing of Dresden, Germany whilst a prisoner of war, would inform much of his work. This event would also form the core of his most famous work, Slaughterhouse-Five, the book which would make him a millionaire. This acerbic 200-page book is what most people mean when they describe a work as "Vonnegutian" in scope.
Vonnegut was a self-proclaimed humanist and socialist (influenced by the style of Indiana's own Eugene V. Debs) and a lifelong supporter of the American Civil Liberties Union.
The novelist is known for works blending satire, black comedy and science fiction, such as Slaughterhouse-Five (1969), Cat's Cradle (1963), and Breakfast of Champions (1973)
评论 ······
audible听完的。
占用复习、睡觉、写论文的时间把它读完了……是一本掺杂了科幻和宗教元素探究人生意义甚至宇宙意义的书。作者深谙当代丧文化精髓（这么说有点怪），整个宇宙都没有意义只有爱你的人最重要……宗教元素挺讽刺的，现代以前人们需要一个能庇佑他们并无所不能的神，现代以后他们则需要一个无所能而冷漠无情的神。科幻元素考虑到这是大半个世纪前一个非专业科幻小说家的作品已经很能震撼我了，尤其水星上那些靠音乐为食能够组成和谐图案…
一百昏！！！
十二万字从头到尾凝聚成一个大写的丧。道格拉斯亚当斯那是快乐的虚无主义者，年轻的冯尼古特除了虚无就是丧，致郁度一百二十万巴仙。
